Abstract
Access to functionality of a file-based write filter can be secured. A policy-based filter can be configured to monitor and filter calls to APIs that access functionality of the file-based write filter. Based on policy, the policy-based filter can selectively block such calls to ensure that only permitted applications and/or users are allowed to access the functionality of the file-based write filter. In some cases, the policy-based filter can be configured to communicate with a server component to determine whether a particular attempt to access the functionality of the file-based write filter should be allowed.
